After a short moment of astonishment, Joshua let out an ear–
piercing scream. He sounded like a pig sent for slaughter.
"How dare you, you imbecile!" Edwin's eyes almost popped out of their soc
kets. He couldn't believe Dustin had the guts to chop Joshua's arm off in
front of everyone. He'd crossed the line!
"You–
how dare you harm Josh!" Jade shrieked. How could a peasant like Dustin d
are to rebel against them like this? Did he have a death wish?
"Rhys! You're dead meat!" Tina screeched. Dustin had humiliated her befor
e: now, Joshua was the one suffering. How could the Hummer family possibl
y face the world if they didn't get revenge for this?
"Let her go," Dustin said coldly.
"Fuck you! You have hell to pay for harming my brother!" Tina snarled.
Dustin didn't waste his breath. Instead, he brandished his sword and swun
g it lightly, slicing Joshua's other arm off. Blood splattered over
the floor, and Joshua's right arm landed in a pool of it. He howled again
, his face contorting in a mask of pain. Sweat beaded on his forehead. No
w, he was no different from a lamb up for slaughter. His earlier arroganc
e and dominance had dissipated.
"You abomination!"
"How dare you!"
"This is outrageous!"
Dustin's second attack brought about more furious exclamations. It was ba
d enough that he'd chopped
Joshua's left arm off; he'd now made things worse by chopping off the rig
ht one as well. It was an insult to the
Hummer family's dignity and pride!
Amidst their fury, the members of the Hummer family came to a conclusion–
Dustin was a madman!
"Let her go!" Dustin brandished his sword again. This time, he pressed it
to Joshua's neck. The cold, steely
look in his eyes made the onlookers subconsciously shudder. They'd seen t
heir fair share of nefarious
characters, but this was their first time coming into
contact with the cold, inhumane look in Dustin's eyes. He
wasn't mad, nor had he raised his voice.
On the contrary, he'd been calm and collected throughout the whole exchan
ge. However, the more he acted
like that, the more terrifying it was. There was no doubt in everyone's m
inds that he would behead Joshua if
the Hummer family didn't do as he said.
"Let … let her go!" Edwin forced out through gritted teeth, ultimately ch
oosing to give in. He couldn't take this
bet, not with Joshua's life on the line. He'd already witnessed how ruthl
ess Dustin could be.
"Dad!" Tina couldn't believe her ears. Were they, the almighty Hummer fam
ily, going to give in to a brat?
"I said, let her go!" Edwin turned to bellow at her. Nothing mattered mor
e than Joshua's life.
Tina bit her lip and loosened Natasha's ties.
Chapter 263
As soon as she was free, Natasha gave Tina two tight slaps. Tina stared a
t her, dumbfounded. "That's only the interest you owe me. I'll
collect the rest of my debt later."
With that, she turned and strutted toward Dustin. She'd never been the ty
pe to suffer in silence–
since she'd been slapped, she had to return the favor.
"Why, you-
Tina gnashed her teeth, looking humiliated. Dustin and Natasha were too
obnoxious for words!
